125,000 Strong for Mental Health Reform!

Mental ill-health is the leading killer of Australians under 45, and the leading cause of disability in Australia. It's time our governments stepped up and invested in mental health care to save lives.

Please join this petition and help make it one of our biggest yet!

"I call on the governments of Australia to act urgently and effectively to reform mental healthcare in Australia so that:
- there is no longer inequality of access to effective treatments between physical health and mental health
- early intervention is the norm;
- community based treatments are the norm; and
- quality services are the norm"

Last week, over just a few short days, this petition gained an incredible 80,000 signatures. Let's make this one of our biggest petitions to date. Can you help us reach 125,000 signatures?

103,782 have joined this campaign - help us get to 125,000.


We have achieved 83.03% of our goal. Let’s keep going!
